The Dress Matters is truly an exceptional bridal boutique! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. I discovered my dream dress from one of my favorite designe...
rs during a trunk show, and the experience was absolutely magical. The team was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable, helping me find the perfect gown.
Additionally, I had alterations done through one of their tailored packages, and I couldn't be happier with the results. My seamstress, Courtney, was an absolute star! She took my ideas and transformed them into something even more beautiful than I had imagined. Courtney's expertise and attention to detail were unmatched, and she worked with such precision and care that the dress felt custom-made just for me.
Thanks to Courtney's skill, the dress fit like a glove and looked even more stunning than when I first tried it on. I felt absolutely radiant the entire evening, and the compliments I received on the dress continue to this day. If you're looking for a bridal boutique that offers not just beautiful dresses but impeccable service and expert alterations, The Dress Matters is the place to go.
Although I did not end up purchasing my wedding dress from The Dress Matters, I had a great experience here. Monica was super helpful, kind & patient. The dresses were reasonably p...
riced and my overall experience was super enjoyable. I will definitely be recommending this shop to family & friends!
Courtney is the kindest and most knowledgable person to alter your wedding dressI bought my dress in NYC but wanted alterations in the Philadelphia area to reduce the travel time; ...
I searched for places that would not only be affordable but trustworthy, even though I really only needed basic alterations (hem, take in waist, and bustle). Lo and hold, The Dress Matters has a flat-rate alterations package for those 3 things and also has an angel of a seamstress, Courtney! (Just note that there is a small fee for dresses bought elsewhere, added to the flat-rate of the alterations package) I had 3 appointments with her before taking my dress home, and I was blown away at every appointment when she explained all details of what she did or planned to do. She was meticulous and wanted to make sure that there was nothing out of place when I stood, sat down, and walked around in my dress. I couldn’t have asked for a better seamstress to alter my dress and make it a seamless experience. Hire Courtney - you won’t regret it!
I would not have gotten my dress anywhere else. When I made my consultation appointment, they allowed me to bring all my bridesmaids (which I appreciated). They made sure I got e...
xactly what I wanted in my dress. Everyone is so kind there! Courtney (my seamstress) got the dress exactly to what I wanted. She made the dress fit like a glove.

ect. We both knew the first dress was the one! Monica picked out the perfect accessories to tie the whole look together without ever trying to oversell. I also used the in-house seamstress, Courtney, and she was great to work with. Courtney really cares about getting the perfect fit. The salon is beautiful and we had a great experience.
I went to at least 5 wedding dress shops (big & small stores). I had a feeling The Dress Matters would be my saving grace so I saved this one for last, and I am so glad I did. I he...
ard about this place from another friend who got her wedding dress here. My appointment was the day after Thanksgiving and the owner herself opened the shop and was my consultant. Sorry I forgot her name! She was so nice! I think she opened the shop just for me, because I was the only one there that day. By the time I arrived here, I already tried on close to 40 dresses, so I knew what type and style of dress I want. I told the owner what I am looking for and she immediately pulled out dresses for me. As I tried the dresses on, she listened to what I liked and what I don't like, offering her opinion when asked. Then pulled out some more dresses based on my preferences. I think I tried on 5-7 dresses. Ultimately, I choose the last dress she pulled out! It was everything I was looking for and more! Most importantly it fits my budget. The owner was so great for working with my tight budget and we came to agree on a price that we were both comfortable with. I did not use their alteration service because I live far from them, but I did store my dress there for a 2 month before it needed to be altered. Can't recommend them more! Their places can't be beat! Thank you for allowing me to find the perfect dress for my wedding day!

oked lovely wearing them. We ordered the dresses in March, just as all retail stores were closing. Debbie made us feel safe and the dresses arrived in plenty of time for alterations. I would highly recommend this store.

lso allowed my mom and I free time to roam which made me feel at ease. She allowed me to try on as many dresses as I liked, which I loved since I am so indecisive! However, after I tried on three I fell in love with my dress! I am obsessed and could not have asked for a better place to find my dress and veil! They were very helpful and sweet!
This was one of the best dress shopping experiences that I had! Debbie was helpful, yet patient. She gave good advice, and listened to my wants, but also encouraged me to try dres...
ses that I wouldn't normally go for! In my opinion, the dresses were also reasonably priced. The Dress Matters was the first shop I went to, and every store after did not measure up. I am so happy with the dress that I ended up with from The Dress Matters! Beautiful - would highly recommend!

dress for me. Deborah Collins, the owner and my consultant that day, made me feel so beautiful and comfortable! I showed her pictures of the type of style I was looking for, and immediately she was able to pull a ton of beautiful dresses. When she added accessories to the one dress I loved the most, I had my "wow" bridal moment! Once I said yes, I was given a glass of wine to celebrate! It was such a fun, special time that I will always remember! I can't wait to wear my dress on my big day! I highly recommend going to The Dress Matters!! You will not be disappointed!

Great boutique and great dresses!
I has a wonderful experience at The Dress Matters. Everyone was nice and professional. I purchased my dress and did alterations here. Great experience!
While I did not find my perfect dress at this boutique, I cannot say enough positive things about the staff and my overall experience. You do not get your own dressing area, but th...
e room has black curtains which provide privacy. The dresses came in larger sizes, unlike other boutiques that offer you sizes 8, 10 & 12. A majority of their gowns are $1,000 - $1,500. Parking is tight, so if you go with a group, try and carpool. The boutique is by appointment only. I highly, highly recommend The Dress Matters!
Shop located in a small house. Difficult parking. Could use a good cleaning. Frustrating alterations. It took me 4 trips until they got it right. And it was simple fixes.
I had such a wonderful, positive experience at The Dress Matters, especially with the owner, Deborah Collins, who was my consultant. This was the 2nd place I visited for my wedding...
dress, and I immediately knew after the 2nd that I found “the one”. Deborah really listened to me about the style I was interested in and pulled dresses accordingly. After the purchase, they have kept communication open by giving me updates about the dress and have been easy to deal with when setting up dress fitting appointments. Overall, I would highly recommend The Dress Matters to anyone! Thanks again for providing me such a great experience for the biggest day of my life!
I unfortunately did not have a very good experience here. I purchased my dress out of state and brought it here to have it steamed prior to my wedding. When I arrived to pick my dr...
ess up, they shoved the large tulle skirt into a very small zipped garment bag which crushed the tulle and put more wrinkles in it than before I'd brought it in. They did re-steam the dress for free, and put it back in its original bag, but it seemed entirely unprofessional to me for them to crush my large tulle skirt into a small garment bag in the first place. They also stuffed the bust with tissue paper after steaming the dress, I did not bring it to them like this, and it caused the top of my dress to gap on my wedding day-I am very small chested and it had fit perfectly before. While I'm sure their dress selection and services are wonderful, I would go elsewhere for alterations and steaming services.
Excellent excellent excellent! I’m a girl who loves bling but was on a budget. I went to many other bridal salons and wasn’t shown what I wanted. The Dress Matters showed me so man...
y options. The dress was perfect and not astronomical in price. People gave me so many compliments. I highly recommend working with their seamstress Mehtap as well. She put details I wanted on the dress and made it mine! Highly recommend this shop.

me, they'll say I'm impossible when it comes to finding a dress, but The Dress Matters made it so easy! The shop was clean, neat and organized. The staff was super friendly and made you feel right at home! I'm so happy I found my dress with them and I will recommend them to all!

g, my group loved looking around at the gorgeous bridesmaid dresses while I changed. They picked out the prefect veil for me. They were even so kind as to honor a sale that was running the weekend after my appointment. I did not want to take the dress off and they did not rush me to do so haha. Thank you so much for helping me get the dress of my dreams. Can't wait until it comes in so I can have it on again!
I purchased my dress from The Dress Matters a few weeks ago and everything went perfect. When I went in for my initial consultation, me needs were listened to and a number of dress...
es in (and out) of my comfort zone were selected. I was able to find the perfect dress during my first visit. Before paying for the dress, the representative was up front and let me know that it would be on sale 2 weeks out and allowed me to schedule a follow up appointment so that I could take advantage of the special. Overall, it was a great experience.
Deb and her Bridal boutique staff truly made our wedding a dream come true! From the very first encounter to the day I picked up my wedding dress, it was shear joy and excitement! ...
I felt like a Queen throughout the entire journey...even at fittings...with her seamstress May doing an excellent job! My Bridesmaids also ordered dresses with The Dress Matters and they too were very satisfied and everything exceeded our expectations!! Truly a gem to work with. Prices were very reasonable and my accessories were well coordinated by the jewelry, veil and crown she had in stock.
If I could rate this any higher I would! My first (and only) dress fitting was amazing from beginning to end. I was terrified to go dress shopping because I am a plus sized bride b...
ut I didn't feel that way for a second. The choices were stunning, in my price range, and they fit beautifully.
My bridal consultant, Deana, was patient and we tried dresses on multiple times before we made the final decision and said Yes to the Dress.
